Viking E-75 Plate in Black - PNL75-BK

Viking Electronics PNL75-BK E-75 Entry Phone Black Faceplate Panel

Overview

The PNL75-BK is the black faceplate panel for Viking's E-75 Series video entry phone — the replacement or alternate-finish plate that covers the flush-mount assembly in a standard double gang box or surface-mount enclosure. If you're specifying a black finish to match a dark door frame or modern commercial entrance aesthetic, this is the correct part. It is not a standalone device; it pairs with the E-75 phone module, which provides the analog color camera, 125 KHz proximity card reader, two-way hands-free audio, and Wiegand output. The panel itself measures 4.875" x 4.938" x 0.17" — standard double gang footprint with minimal protrusion.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Viking Electronics E-75 Series video entry phones, including the E-75-BK and E-75 EWP outdoor/weatherproof variant. Mounts flush in a standard double gang electrical box or surface-mounts using the VE-5x5 surface enclosure accessory. The E-75 module behind this panel supports 26-bit Wiegand output to a compatible access control panel, and the card reader wiring runs up to 500 ft on 24 AWG stranded cable — meaning the controller can be located well away from the door without a signal integrity issue. Camera video output is 1 Vp-p composite NTSC at 75 ohms, feeding any analog surveillance system or DVR with a composite input. Not compatible with IP or PoE-based video systems without an analog-to-IP encoder.

Installation Notes

Panel mounts flush in a double gang box — verify box depth accommodates the phone module (2.84" x 1.8" x 1.65") before rough-in. Card reader requires 6–22V DC at 150mA supplied separately; camera shares the same 6–22V DC 150mA power spec. The E-75 phone circuit itself is telephone-line powered (25V AC RMS minimum ring voltage), so ensure your intercom controller or POTS line meets that threshold. Operating temperature range is -30°F to 150°F, making this suitable for unheated vestibules and cold-climate exterior applications where the enclosure protects against direct water ingress — the push button switch on the E-75 carries an IP67 rating; the EWP model variant is rated IP66.
